Had a great time wandering the sights and hanging out with Judith over this past weekend. Here we are at Temple Square promoting each others books and being photographed by a very eager bystander.

About six years ago, I finished a horror novel, Drowning in a Shallow Pool, about this particular pool. I worked on it over the past year. And I’m here to tell you that it never gets easy figuring out what to do with these books you create…






When people say they use AI to write, I have to wonder what they keep in their basement for inspiration because they need more bins like mine.




Current reads from Grady Hendrix, Cixin Liu, Oscar Zarate & Richard Appignanesi, and Christopher McGlothlin. Perhaps not current releases but the TBR pile is all about playing catch-up and increasing my anxiety. Believe me, contemplating existentialism for a while, you can face all the other horrors.

Now available! It contains so many phenomenal contributions plus three of my poems! Published by Barrio Blues Press – edited by Jesú Estrada – cover by Phrique !
I’ve been remiss about posting current reads but I did take this photo last week. I have since finished Elegy for Opportunity by Natalie Lim and something unmentionable by Mike Ennenbach, both fantastic. I am still reveling in Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle and All the Worst Humans: How I Made News for Dictators, Tycoons, and Politicians by Phil Elwood.

But really I’m celebrating with a walk on the beach after sending off a 2,500 word story which I managed to write and edit this weekend. I haven’t been that productive in a while. Plus the story lies at the intersection of baseball and body horror. Summer is in the air!
